Streaming on Qobuz (96/24)… kicked off the day with Chris and he and this group of talented musicians are sounding sublime!
Had that on a cassette way back in the day, long forgotten, will have to rectify that. Thanks for posting and reminding me of that album
Ps found it on Tidal, ta v much again!
From 1978, one of the best debuts ever. This is the copy I bought off my mate Jon for £1 in 1979 (he bought it on the day it came out the previous year but he didn’t like it).
First track, “Calling Elvis” from 06:55 in when the drums kick in…what I’d give to hear it on some of your systems. Please, if you enjoy Dire Straits, let me know how good this sounds to you? Or is it just me…
From Magazine to the Banshees, the link of course being John McGeogh, a brilliantly original and talented guitar player, easily the best of his generation. Much missed, his full majesty is on show on this, Souxsie & Co’s best album. Vinyl.
Chris Stapleton ( Acoustic Guitar, Electric Guitar, Mandolin, Vocals), Derek Mixon (Drums, Percussion), Dave Cobb (Acoustic Guitar, Percussion), T. Cure (upright bass), Mickey Raphael (Harmonica), Mike Webb (Mellotron, Organ, Piano) and Morgan Stapleton (Vocals).
Streaming on Qobuz (96/24)… continuing on this morning with Chris and his fantastic ‘Traveller’ album. Chris is a songwriter, musician and performer and he and the band are sounding superb! This is one sweet album…
Jimmy Page & Robert Plant | No Quarter (Unledded) | 2004
Harder edged and punchier than the '94 original, this has a lot going for it. Thanks to @dave-marshall who put me on to this version a few years ago
